Definitions
- This invention relates to an gel for skin treatment and preparation method for the same, and more particularly to an Shiunko nanomicell for skin treatment and preparation method for the same.
- Shiunko is a Chinese traditional ointment used for treating burns and scalds, and mainly consists of Lithospermum Radix, Angelica Radix, Sesame oil, and Wax.
- the effective components of Lithospermum Radix includes shikonin and the derivatives thereof, which have been proved having the functions of granulation tissue formation improving, anti-inflammatory, fasting the wound healing, anti-bacteria, and anti-tumor.
- Shiunko also has the advantages of cheap price and easy preparation. However, Shiunko also has the deficiencies of being easy denaturalized under room temperature, thick sesame smell, oily sensation, hard to cleaning so that it is inconvenient in clinical use.
- Silver sulfadiazine 1% cream is the major agent used to treat burns and scalds in western medicine from 1968, and silver sulfadiazine has the function of inducing the cell wall deformation of the bacteria, damaging the cell membrane so that it can kill the bacteria.
- the silver granules will deposit in skin dermis to cause Argyrai, and in monolayer culture, the silver ions and the sulfadiazine are even found having a high toxicity in keratinocytes and fibroblasts, which is harmful to wound healing.
- the toxic dose and the sterilization dose of the silver ions are similar, and hence the normal cells will be damaged when the bacteria are killed.
- sulfadiazine will also inhibit the bone marrow function and induce allergy.
- nanomicell is a concentrated solution of phospholipids and certain solvents such as a glycerin or a Propylene Glycol.
- the nanomicell can dissolve the oil and substances that are difficult to be dissolved in water under room temperature (25° C.-60° C.).
- the concentrated solution will form numerous liposomes if diluted with water, and hence the nanomicell means a transparent and concentrated solution that includes the lipid-soluble drugs packaged with phospholipids and water to form numerous micells.
- the nanomicell has advantages of well stability, high hydrophile, safety in physiology, no irritation, no synthesized detergent and preservative using, and even can improve the absorption of active components and bio-availability.
- micells can pass through the cell membrane by cell fusion, endocytosis or phagocytosis, and hence are suitable as the excipient in cosmetic, pharmaceutical or biomedical research. Further, the micell have a diameter less than 100 nanometers can be absorbed by skin, which is an ideal transdermal drug delivery method that is efficient and not invasive.
- an Shiunko nanomicell for skin treatment is provided.
- the particular design in the present invention not only solves the problems described above, but also is easy to be implemented.
- the invention has the utility for the industry.
- the micell has a diameter lesser than 100 nanometers.
- the nanomicell is used for a treatment for one selected from a group consisting of wound injury, burn injury, dry skin, fissure, frostbite, ulcer, and proliferate skin diseases.
- the nanomicell gel includes an excipient that has a plurality of micells distributed therein. Further, each of the plurality of micells includes an oil extract of Angelica Radix, an oil extract of Lithospermum Radix, and a phospholipid layer. The phospholipid layer wraps therewithin the oil extract of Angelica Radix and the oil extract of Lithospermum Radix.
- the phospholipids layer includes a glycerin and a phospholipids.
- each of the plurality of micells further includes a aqueous layer outside the phospholipid layer.
- the excipient is selected from one of a gel and a hydrophilic ointment.
- each of the plurality of micells has a diameter lesser than 100 nanometers.
- the nanomicell gel is used for a treatment for one selected from a group consisting of wound injury, burn injury, dry skin, fissure, frostbite, ulcer, and proliferate skin diseases.
- the method includes steps of (a) extracting an Angelica Radix and a Lithospermum Radix with an oil substance to obtain an extract; (b) adding a phospholipid and a water into the extract; (c) stirring the extract in a relatively high speed and relatively high pressure condition to homogenize the extract; and (d) filtrating the extract.
- the method further includes a step of soaking the Angelica Radix in the oil substance for 24 hours before the step of extracting an Angelica Radix and a Lithospermum Radix.
- the method further includes a step of heating the oil substance to a temperature between 130° C. and 140° C. to exact the Angelica Radix and the Lithospermum Radix.

Abstract
The present invention provides a nanomicell for a skin, and the nanomicell includes an oil substance, an extract of a Angelica Radix, an extract of a Lithospermum Radix, and a phospholipid layer. The extract of a Angelica Radix is formed by extracting the Angelica Radix with the oil substance, and the extract of a Lithospermum Radix is formed by extracting the Lithospermum Radix with the oil substance.

Description
- This invention relates to an gel for skin treatment and preparation method for the same, and more particularly to an Shiunko nanomicell for skin treatment and preparation method for the same.
- Shiunko is a Chinese traditional ointment used for treating burns and scalds, and mainly consists of Lithospermum Radix, Angelica Radix, Sesame oil, and Wax. The effective components of Lithospermum Radix includes shikonin and the derivatives thereof, which have been proved having the functions of granulation tissue formation improving, anti-inflammatory, fasting the wound healing, anti-bacteria, and anti-tumor. Shiunko also has the advantages of cheap price and easy preparation. However, Shiunko also has the deficiencies of being easy denaturalized under room temperature, thick sesame smell, oily sensation, hard to cleaning so that it is inconvenient in clinical use.
- Silver sulfadiazine 1% cream is the major agent used to treat burns and scalds in western medicine from 1968, and silver sulfadiazine has the function of inducing the cell wall deformation of the bacteria, damaging the cell membrane so that it can kill the bacteria. However, the silver granules will deposit in skin dermis to cause Argyrai, and in monolayer culture, the silver ions and the sulfadiazine are even found having a high toxicity in keratinocytes and fibroblasts, which is harmful to wound healing. Further, the toxic dose and the sterilization dose of the silver ions are similar, and hence the normal cells will be damaged when the bacteria are killed. In addition, sulfadiazine will also inhibit the bone marrow function and induce allergy.
- The technology of nanomicell is developed recently, which is a concentrated solution of phospholipids and certain solvents such as a glycerin or a Propylene Glycol. The nanomicell can dissolve the oil and substances that are difficult to be dissolved in water under room temperature (25° C.-60° C.). The concentrated solution will form numerous liposomes if diluted with water, and hence the nanomicell means a transparent and concentrated solution that includes the lipid-soluble drugs packaged with phospholipids and water to form numerous micells. The nanomicell has advantages of well stability, high hydrophile, safety in physiology, no irritation, no synthesized detergent and preservative using, and even can improve the absorption of active components and bio-availability. The nano-sized micells can pass through the cell membrane by cell fusion, endocytosis or phagocytosis, and hence are suitable as the excipient in cosmetic, pharmaceutical or biomedical research. Further, the micell have a diameter less than 100 nanometers can be absorbed by skin, which is an ideal transdermal drug delivery method that is efficient and not invasive.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,468,553 and Taiwan Pat. No. I226,838 have made efforts on the oil substrate of the traditional Shiunko, but the deficiencies of oily sensation and hard to cleaning still exist.

- The experimental animals are twelve rabbits (male, New Zealand Rabbit), and the experiment is implemented in the Lab of Experimental Animal of Kaohsiung Medical University.
- (I) Burn and Scald Model building
- First, the experimental rabbits were washed with non-antibacterials soaps, and the dorsal fur was shaved off to expose the skin. Second, the rabbits are anaesthetized with
ketamine 40 mg/kg i.m. Third, the twelve rabbits are divided into 6 groups (rabbits A, B are group 1; rabbits C, D are group 2; rabbits E, F are group 3; rabbits G, H aregroup 4; rabbits I, J are group 5; rabbits K, L are group 6,) and the predetermined injury regions of each rabbits are the same. Fourth, after heated in hot water having a temperature of 95° C. for 5 minutes, a iron column having a diameter of 2 cm is used to contact the exposed skin to produce 6 wounds respectively. After removing the iron and cooling the injury regions in room temperature for 10 minutes, the injury regions are treated with the different ointments or gels (the control group, the silver sulfadiazine 1% cream, the traditional Shiunko, the SSN gel, the OSN gel, and the MSN gel) clockwise in each group, and finally the transparent dressings (Tegaderm™) are put on each wounds respectively. Fifth, after recovering from anesthetization, the experimental rabbits are raised in normal condition. The ointments (or gels) and the dressings are replaced daily, and the wounds are recorded by photograph too. Sixth, from the time of 31 days after the injury, the ointments (or gels) and the dressings are replaced and the wounds are recorded every two days until all the rabbits heal. Seventh, after each treating, the rabbits are forced to wear special neck masks designed for preventing the rabbits licking the wounds. Eighth, the rabbits are sacrificed respectively at the time of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 days after the injury, and the skin of the wound is took off by scissors and soaked in 10% Formalin. The tissue pathological variations of the skin are diagnosed under the direction of the pathological medicine specialist. Ninth, the 36 wounds of the other six rabbits are treated until healing, and the cutaneous wound regeneration and repair are observed and recorded. - The rabbits are sacrificed, and the wound tissues are sampled 3 cm×3 cm followed by soaking in 10% Fommalin. After dehydration, defatting and embedding, 3˜6 μm wound tissue sections are prepared by microtome and fixed on slides. After stained with Hematoxylin & Eosin, the wound tissue sections are observed by light microscope. Further, the tissue pathological variation are evaluated and scored depend on eight histomorphologic features of Hyperkeratosis, Epidermal hyperplasia, Hair follicles, Apocrine glands, Smooth muscles, Fibroplasia, Vascular proliferation and Collagen orientation respectively (Adam J. Singer et al., 2000).
- (III) the Cutaneous Wound Regeneration and Repair Score Results
- The cutaneous wound regeneration and repair are scored by the following standard:
- 5 points: the scabs have came off, and the wounds have healed, and the healing area is flat;
4 points: the scabs have came off, and the wounds have healed, and the healing area is raised;
3 points: the scabs have came off, and the wounds have not healed;
2 points: the scabs have formed over the wounds, and there is no exudate;
1 point: the scabs have formed over the wounds partially, and there is exudate sting. - The cutaneous wound regeneration and repair are scored at the time of 31 and 37 days after the injury, and the more points scored, the more well healing effects are evaluated. The cutaneous wound regeneration and repair scores are showed in tables 8 and 9.

Further, the cutaneous wound regenerating and repairing abilities of OSN and MSN are a bit better than SSM based on the scores of the time of 37 days, and OSM has a better ability in reducing the scar tissues. - On the other hand, the traditional Shiunko is prepared based on the wax, which has the disadvantages of hard-to-clean, being painful when replacing the dressings, and being disagreeable to the sight because of the residue having a red-purple color. However, all the disadvantages are overcomed by replacing the dressings with SSN, OSN or MSN gels.
- (IV) the Tissue Pathological Variation
- Please refer to table 11, which is a Histomorphologic Scale of the rabbit I at the time of day 5 after the injury.

The wound tissue sections are evaluated at the time of the
days 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 after the injury, and the final scores are showed in table 10. -

FIGS. 5 (A)-(F), which are diagrams showing wound tissue sections inLM 20× after stained with Hematoxylin & Eosin at the time of 20 days after the burn injury and successive treatment of no drugs(a), silver sulfadiazine 1% cream(b), traditional Shiunko(c), SSN(d), OSN(e), and MSN(f) respectively according to the embodiment of the present invention. As the table 10 and the figures show, first, there are five dressings (control group, silver sulfadiazine 1% cream, traditional Shiunko ointment, SSN gel, MSN gel) having greater scores at the time of day 5 than those at the times ofdays 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30. Maybe it is because that the blood circulation of the wound tissues has not yet been cut off after burn injury, and hence the most wound tissues still have normal histomorphology. Second, based on the total scores, it is clear that the three different nanomicell gels have a better ability in wound repairing and healing than the control group, silver sulfadiazine 1% cream and traditional Shiunko. Further, the MSN gel has the best ability in wound repairing and healing than the OSN and the SSN gels, wherein the OSN gel is better than the SSN gel. - Based on the mention above, the SSN, the OSN and the MSN provided by the present invention, have a particle size below 100 nm even stored under the room temperature for 150 days, which shows the great stability. Further, the Shiunko nanomicell also shows the great ability in inhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. As to the ability of wound repairing and healing, the Shiunko nanomicell obviously has the better ability than the traditional Shiunko prepared with wax and the silver sulfadiazine 1% cream. In addition, the Shiunko nanomicell is easy to be cleaned, and will not leave residues, which are all the benefits of the present invention.
- From the evaluated results of the burn and scald model of rabbits, it shows that the OSN and the MSN gels have the better ability in wounds healing, however the OSN has a better ability in reducing scar. The evaluated results of wound tissue sections shows that the MSN has the greatest ability in healing than the OSN and SSN gels, and further the OSN is better than the SSN. However, no matter MSN, OSN, or SSN gel, is better than the control group, silver sulfadiazine 1% cream or traditional Shiunko. Accordingly, the Shiunko nanomicell gels provided by the present invention can be applied in burn and scald wounds to improve the healing and reduce the scar tissue, and further applied in relating skin diseases.
- Additional advantages and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details and representative embodiments shown and described herein. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
